Just stuff that has struck me interesting (so far!).
“I definitely don’t want to be a backup, but there’s nothing I can say about it. I did what I could do while I was in there; now they’ve made a decision to go the other way.” Jarrod Saltalamacchia, after being told that Gerald Laird would, as he came off the DL, be the full-time catcher for the Texas Rangers. He then went on to say he’d be “fine” with the move.
“I’d rather Bronson Arroyo be here next year than me. He’s been one of our shining stars here lately”. Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini, debunking the Arroyo trade rumors.
“I didn’t like it. I’m not going to get into that. I’ll just say I didn’t like it.” Yankees manager Joe Girardi on Daniel Cabrera hitting ARod last night. Boo-fucking-hoo, Joe. Kevin Youkilis and his head that you keep allowing Joba Chamberlain to throw at say “hello“.
“Can’t say I feel sorry for him” Clay Buchholz remarking on John Lackey‘s failed no-hit bid.
Bronson might have given up a grand slam and taken his first loss in a while, but he tried to help out as best he could with an rbi double. So there’s that.
Still trying to find updates on Kyle Snyder. Try to block me, New England sports media, but I can’t be contained! 🙂
